As Fin’s enters its 3rd summer selling fabulous footwear to boys and men galore, it’s pretty safe to say that we know our customers are partial to a summer bright, especially when the sun comes out.  Which is why we are such huge fans of the achingly hip menswear label, Hentsch Man.  The brand was set up by Alexia Hentsch, one of our coolest friends, and a girl we can always rely on to have her finger on the pulse.  The range began with the Jack Shirt – a simple, elegant, wearable and easy white shirt, and has expanded to include similar definitive must-haves for every man’s wardrobe.  Our favourites are the Joe Trousers and Nantucket Shorts – we can’t emphasize enough how much we want every Fin’s customer to match his shoes to a pair of Henstchman strides or shorts.  Remember to thank Fin’s for the tip.

The Hentschman range is available in an eye-popping range of colours to perfectly compliment the spectrum of Fin’s brights, in selected stockists and online at www.hentschman.com.

Staring at my designs day after day, it is easy to stop seeing the woods for the trees.  A fresh perspective is often desperately required.  Which is why we have enlisted the help of our fabulous Fintern, Sophie Devlin, who is a budding fashionista.  She has put together some extremely Finspirational mood boards, with tips on how to wear the tip top summer looks, of course incorporating a pair of Fin’s into every look.  Today, we are working the sexy sailor look.

Tan-dependant they may be (with a lovely pair of ankles if we’re being picky) but a great pair of simple not-too-short shorts, nice and tailored in a muted colour – try and be more adventurous than khaki.  J Crew has some lovely pale blue numbers, which will go with multiple shades of Fin’s.

To compliment the look and keep in the theme of nautical, try this Topman striped tee in order to obtain that ultimate chic yacht master look. To top off this fabulous summer ensemble pop on a pair of the Fin’s exclusive Amalfi’s in Sorrento.

And for those moments when the yacht master has to leap off the port bow, a cult-classic pair of Orlebar Brown swimming shorts never goes amiss…

Men’s style bloggers are pretty much the most tricky to please.  They spend their days foraging through the fashion world, from Bond Street to High Street; there is nothing they don’t know about their craft.  It was therefore with great pride that we saw that Fin’s has secured the approval of Simon Crompton at Permanent Style.

One of our favourite things about menswear is the sometimes obsessive eye to detail: the cut, quality, how and where products are manufactured, the list goes on…  Permanent Style captures this perfectly.

For example, a recent post on ties:

“This post is about getting your tie to stand upright in the collar, arching out from the neck to create a flattering curve. The three tips are: keep it at the top of the collar band, tighten it horizontally and make sure it remains central.”
